Mt. SAC can go fuck itself. Charging me as an out of state student, taking forever to review my transcripts, & no help with the orientation. Thank god for the LACCD
There are a lot of times I feel like just…flipping the vegan script.
It’s not ‘polyester’ it’s plastic
It’s not ‘vegan leather’ it’s plastic
Its not ‘faux fur’ it’s plastic
Plastic is a pollutant and causes far more damage to the environment both now and in the future than leather or wool.
Please stop telling me that the Plastic Lyfe is the only life, it is not. My leather shoes will last a decade where pleather is lucky to last 12 months. Leather (and wool) decompose and are renewable. Plastic is neither of those.
THANK YOUUUUUUU~
A single wash cycle of plastic-based fiber (polyester, poly fleece, faux fur) may release 700,000 pieces of microplastic into our waters. Nasty stuff.
aw dangit
Wool is the most environmentally friendly fabric despite being an animal product.
the way americans are obsessed with the fuckin military is terrifying. I work as a cashier so I occasionally have to ask for donations for whatever the cause of the moment is. people will donate all the fuckin time to the troops but not only will they ignore homeless children, but they joke about it. they’re over here like “haha I have my own hungry children to feed” or “they should be donating to me I’m hungry” or other just straight up stupid unnecessary shit and it’s cruel, joking about homeless fuckin children. yet the mere mention of troops and they’re throwing all their money at me. these people are glorified murderers and americans eat that shit up and worship the ground they walk on. the brainwashing is un-fuckin-real
I will reblog this EVERY GODDAMN TIME so people can understand how the US government taking more and more land from Natives is nothing new (even the land originally promised after being kicked off their original, sacred lands) and they NEED to be fucking stopped. They need to be held accountable for the destruction of our people not just then but also now.
i’m assuming by now you’ve all read about the christian missionary who was killed while trying to convert the uncontacted indigenous north sentinelese tribe in india – which is, in fact, illegal, because the tribe has had absolutely no contact with the outside world and is therefore incredibly vulnerable to foreign contagions and diseases – but what a lot of stories are leaving out is that the guy actually spent several hours on the island, long enough to speak with the members of the tribe and “sing worship songs to them,” before members of the tribe killed him. and he brought along a backpack with some personal possessions, which remained on the island and were handled by members of the tribe. which is to say he fully could have unwittingly infected the tribe with some lethal disease that could wipe all of them out. what kind of narcissistic sociopath.
“Police said Chau had previously visited North Sentinel island about four or five times with the help of local fishermen,” journalist Subir Bhaumik, who has been covering the islands for years, told BBC Hindi.
oh sorry it’s actually worse than i thought, he went to the island multiple times with multiple other outsiders, each time increasing the possibility of exposing the tribe to foreign contagions
A source with access to handwritten notes that Chau gave to the fishermen to pass on to a friend said that Chau described taking scissors, safety pins and a football as gifts to the tribe.
In his notes, the source said, Chau wrote that some members of the tribe were good to him while others were very aggressive.
“I have been so nice to them, why are they so angry and so aggressive?” the source quoted Chau as saying.
The Sentinel islands have a rumoured population of around 40-66 people like presently, and you’re trying to introduce diseases to these people who have no immunity to them because you want to spread Christianity even tho they don’t fucking speak English… and then if you get killed by them, that’s your stupidity, no one else should care
